Re: [CentOS] compiling a module

I am interested in fscache module. I know where to get the userland tools (http://people.redhat.com/dhowells/fscache/) but I am not sure where to obtain its module. Moreover, I am not sure once I get the source code how I can compile it for Centos 5.2.

Has anyone compiled, fscache before?

Have a look at the thread:

Theoretically, on a CentOS 5.2 system (that hasn't been updated), FS-Cache should work out-of-the-box - however, the FS-Cache version with the 5.2 kernels is old and buggy and shouldn't be used in a production environment.

I believe FS-Cache is supported with RHEL 6.0 - so may be you should wait until CentOS 6 is out?
